Leighton Meester Is A Missed Connection
It looks like B received a missed connection ad in Craigslist today! This guy – whoever he is – in New York City has invested some time into writing this. He even schemes out a little story for what their first date will look like before it even happens, which okay, let’s be real here for a second…is Leighton Meester spending her time on Craigslist perusing the missed connections for this guy with the poor haircut? Probably not.
Then again, now that this Craigslist ad is being posted around, maybe she will because it has been brought to her attention.
Or maybe she won’t because of his elaborate story.
This could go back and forth for awhile, but I want to know – does the missed connections section actually work or is it just purely for entertainment?

Oh Hey Happy Belated Birthday
Penn Badgley
The Gossip Girl actor turned 25 yesterday. I don’t know about you guys, but I was not convinced for a second that Penn was supposed to be playing the dorky mascot in Easy A. He was a hot dorky mascot and if were at my high school (way back when,) I’m sure the girls would’ve been all over that. RIGHT?
Happy Birthday!
Happy 30th Birthday to Rachel Bilson and Happy 24th Birthday to Blake Lively!
Don’t they kind of seem like they’re around the same age to you? Rachel Bilson will return to television this fall with her new CW show “Hart of Dixie” while Blake Lively is still dating Leonardo DiCaprio.
I really wish she would just reprise her role as Summer Roberts though. Seth Cohen take her back.
Taylor Momsen Becomes a Full Time Musician
Little J has left the Upper East Side
for good. Taylor Momsen has quit acting to become a full time musician and it looks like she couldn’t be happier with that decision. For the first season of Gossip Girl, Little J was actually one of my favorite characters. Then she went off the deep end and we watched her character change simultaneously with her personality in real life. It was almost as if they were morphing into one single person – which was weird because that doesn’t happen often, does it? Anyways, congrats to Taylor for doing something that she loves. The girl’s a little bit cray-cray on the stage so I’ve heard, but at least she’s made up her mind about what she wants to do. Even though her music isn’t really my scene at all, I still want to go to one of her shows.

Leighton Meester for Missoni
Leighton Meester’s first photo from Missoni’s spring campaign have just been released and they are too cute. This doesn’t mean that she has won the battle for campaigns just yet though. That decision won’t be made until we get a peak at her Gossip Girl co-star Blake Lively’s Chanel campaign.
The campaign was inspired by the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
This fantastic shoot was done by one of my favorite photographers Juergen Teller. He is also responsible for all of the quirky Marc Jacobs ad campaigns as well.

I figured that I had better just make a roundup post…
- Nicole Richie and Joel Madden got married this past weekend! No pictures have been released yet, but Nicole did wear 3 gowns – one being a Marchesa custom-made wedding gown for the walk down the aisle. Also, there was an elephant present. Not an elephant in the room, but an actual elephant stomping all over Lionel Richie’s estate where the wedding was held. Paris Hilton was not invited.
- Obligatory qt Elle Fanning gif.
Natalie Portman is on the cover of Vogue’s January 2011 issue and for some reason this cover looks extremely vintage. I’m not diggin’ on the awkward hand placement.

Fall 2010 Trend: Prep School
One of the biggest trends for this fall will be the revival of the preppy look. It is fairly easy to recreate because it combines classic pieces such as plaid and twill skirts, the button up blouse, and the blazer. You can try wearing all three, but if you think it’s too much – just one piece will do. To give you a better idea of what this trend may look like, I’m bringing to you some great films and television shows depicting the latest style trend. Get ready to become inspired!

The Pretty Reckless Preview
I have had my mixed thoughts about Taylor Momsen. She went from cookie cutter sweet Little J on Gossip Girl to downright brooding, dark, heavily makeuped JENNY. Not gonna lie, I was a taken aback by the transformation that seemed to occur right on my television screen and in reality. I’ve read plenty of articles where she claims that this her true self. Well, Taylor, if this is who you are then okay. Be who you are. I just wish you were a bit nicer with the things that came out of your mouth. We all remember the time when you brushed off donating to Haiti because you said you were too busy focusing on your music.
She has few words to say about her series, but once you get her on the topic of her band The Pretty Reckless, she never stops. Her music is…respectable. I applaud Little Tay (she’s still 16 after all) for venturing into new career goals. The Pretty Reckless actually toured Seattle not too long ago and I was thinking about going to her show to see this inner monster of hers come out. I’ve seen videos. She looks crazy! Unfortunately, I missed my chance, but for those of you readers going to Warped Tour this summer be sure to stop by her set and let me know how it is.
Here’s a sneak peak preview of her new EP. She definitely reminds me of Karen O. and Courtney Love even though she hates that comparison.Whatever.
